Thank you for supporting the bridge lunch in aid of the Women's refuge.  Due to the hard work of the organisers (and friends) a grand total of £2,500 was raised.

Host System
As you are all aware, our club operates a host system where we have a spare person available to play with anyone who comes up to the club on their own.  Over the years this has worked incredibly well but it is always the same people who volunteer.  Some of our club members seem to think that this system does not apply to them.  If everyone was on duty once a year, their turn would only come round every two years.  Surely this isn't too much to ask!  Please take your turn and sign up now.

News Update

Highfield Bridge Club has moved!

The Club now meets at Elim Oasis Community Centre, Gordon Le Breton Close, Plat Douet Road, St Saviour.

If you are travelling from St Helier come out through the tunnel and head for Georgetown.  At the Georgetown traffic lights take the right fork towards St Clement Coast Road.  After passing a petrol station on either side of the road and the New Era Vetinerary Surgery turn left (just before the Recreation Grounds)into Plat Douet Road which becomes a one way street and continue passed the School and the Le Riches offices until you see Gordon Le Breton Close on your right side.  Turn into Gordon Le Breton Close and the Centre is right at the bottom of the road.

News Update
Parking
My thanks to Brian Youd for supervising the parking in some very cold weather.  There is plenty of room to park at Elim providing everyone parks sensibly and it could be helped further if more people doubled up and came with friends.  One selfish parker however could create a huge amount of difficulty and so we ask that you continue to park as close to other cars as is feasible.  There is also room for at least 6 cars down the side of the building and this is probably one of the easiest places to park providing you reverse in.

Bridge Etiquette
There is a very interesting article on the Information pages on Bridge etiquette.  Please do have a look at it and see if there is anything that you could improve upon during a bridge session.  We all waste time by chatting between hands and explaining to our partners how "they could have made their contract".  Please be brief and don't hold up play whilst having your own discussions.  Finally please be polite at all times both to your opponents and your partner, we are all there to have a pleasant evening.

EBU Database
When Pay2Play comes in to force next year, it will be necessary for us to provide the EBU with everyone's name, address, telephone number and email if possible.  We also need to know the EBU membership numbers for existing members of the English Bridge Union.  All members of the club will automatically become members of the EBU and receive the magazine and other benefits accordingly.  A form will be available shortly which we would ask you to complete and return to Pat or John Panter.
